Course Overview

This comprehensive Oil & Gas Construction & Project Insurance Training Course provides a practical understanding of insurance principles, risk assessment methodologies, coverage structures, and risk transfer strategies applicable to major oil and gas construction and infrastructure projects. The course focuses on the insurance requirements associated with engineering, procurement and construction activities, new facilities, expansions, upgrades, pipelines, terminals, refineries, petrochemical plants, processing facilities, and other capital-intensive energy projects. Oil and gas construction projects involve complex technical interfaces, high project values, extended execution periods, multiple contractors and subcontractors, specialized equipment, demanding commissioning activities, and significant exposure to delays and physical loss. Effective project insurance therefore requires a comprehensive understanding of construction methodologies, contractual responsibilities, project schedules, critical path activities, testing and commissioning, logistics, site risks, and potential financial consequences of project disruption. The course examines the principal insurance solutions used during oil and gas construction and project development, including construction all risks, erection all risks, delay in start-up, advanced loss of profits, third-party liability, marine cargo, equipment risks, environmental exposures, and other project-specific covers. Participants will also explore policy limits, deductibles, exclusions, warranties, extensions, insured parties, contractual requirements, and the relationship between project insurance and contractual risk allocation. Through practical case studies, project risk assessment exercises, policy analysis, claims scenarios, and insurance programme design workshops, participants will develop the ability to identify construction and project exposures, assess loss potential, evaluate insurance requirements, identify coverage gaps, and support effective risk transfer. The programme also connects project insurance with EPC contracts, project controls, claims management, business continuity, reinsurance, and overall project risk management.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the principal insurance risks associated with oil and gas construction and infrastructure projects.
  • Assess project exposures arising from engineering, procurement, construction, installation, testing, commissioning, and start-up activities.
  • Evaluate construction all risks and erection all risks insurance requirements for complex energy projects.
  • Assess delay in start-up and advanced loss of profits exposures arising from insured physical damage and project delays.
  • Analyze contractual insurance requirements and the allocation of risk among owners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other project parties.
  • Evaluate project values, contract values, replacement costs, equipment values, and potential loss scenarios for insurance purposes.
  • Interpret project insurance policy structures, including limits, deductibles, exclusions, warranties, extensions, and special conditions.
  • Assess marine cargo, transportation, storage, third-party liability, and environmental exposures associated with oil and gas projects.
  • Evaluate construction site controls, contractor risk management, HSE systems, quality controls, and loss prevention measures.
  • Analyze project delay, critical path, commissioning, and business interruption exposures from an insurance perspective.
  • Develop practical insurance and risk transfer strategies aligned with project objectives, contractual requirements, and organizational risk appetite.
  • Prepare an integrated insurance and risk assessment framework for major oil and gas construction projects.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for insurance professionals involved in underwriting, broking, risk assessment, claims, and programme management for oil and gas construction projects. It is particularly relevant to energy insurance underwriters, project insurance specialists, risk engineers, insurance brokers, reinsurance professionals, claims managers, loss adjusters, and insurance programme managers. The programme is also suitable for professionals working within oil and gas companies, EPC contractors, engineering firms, project owners, developers, construction companies, and energy infrastructure organizations. This includes project managers, contract managers, commercial managers, risk managers, procurement professionals, legal specialists, finance professionals, HSE managers, project controls specialists, and asset managers involved in project risk and insurance decisions. It is appropriate for managers, senior specialists, technical professionals, decision makers, and executives responsible for major capital projects such as refineries, petrochemical facilities, processing plants, pipelines, terminals, storage facilities, offshore and onshore developments, power-related infrastructure, and other oil and gas construction projects.
